The police haven’t charged Pippen with anything yet. Witnesses described Shafighi as being drunk and taking photos of Pippen inside and outside of the establishment. Shafighi isn’t waiting for the cops to make a decision, he has decided to file a lawsuit and try to get paid.

The suit says, Shafighi got a “brutal and unjustified physical attack” that included spit in the face, a shove, and a punch that sent Shafighi to the ground.

“At no time did or could Mr. Shafighi physically provoke or fight back, as he was knocked unconscious with the first blow,” the lawsuit says.
